Customer innovation
March 2022 – A new earth unloading platform is installed. This platform makes soil unloading safer and simpler, and saves time: 10 minutes to unload the material. Construction work began in 2021 and lasted 6 months, with various trades working on the platform.
Discovering the galleries
Backfilling the quarry with soil corresponds to a procedure for making the galleries safe once mining has been completed. Backfill comes from construction sites. Land traceability is ensured by ECT.
